Motor exercise and brain growth in preschoolers
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special motor-focused exercise program helps brain development in healthy children ages 4 to 6. It aims to see if physical activity can improve how the brain grows and works at this age.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be 4 to 6 years old and attend a kindergarten in Changsha, China.
- Your child must be generally healthy and able to take part in structured physical activities safely.
- You, as a parent or guardian, must give written permission for your child to join the study.
- Your child must not have any brain, development, or muscle/bone conditions that could affect movement or brain-wave testing.
- Your child must not be in any other special sports or motor-training programs outside of their regular kindergarten activities.
- Your child must be able to cooperate with brain-wave (EEG) testing, which involves wearing a cap with sensors.

This trial tests if a special exercise program can help with brain development in kids ages 7 to 9. It may support how their nerves and muscles work together.
This study looks at how infants’ movement (motility) and early thinking (cognition) develop over time. It may help researchers better understand normal development in healthy babies.
This study tests whether a physical activity program at school helps preschool children develop better movement skills and healthy activity habits. Researchers will track how much children move throughout the day and how well they can run, jump, and play.
This study looks at whether kindergartens can successfully add more movement and physical activity into their daily routines. Researchers will work with kindergarten teachers and staff to see how this affects children's activity levels and well-being.
This study tests if a program delivered through a smartphone or tablet can help parents teach their 3-5 year old children motor skills and maybe boost thinking abilities. It's all about active play at home.
This study looks at a program to help infants and toddlers improve their motor skills. It includes educational workshops for parents and educators, and checks on babies' motor development over time. The goal is to catch any delays early and support healthy movement.
